did you mean to leave behind a song
sluggishly forgot to pack it along
seeping in my ears it’s pressure remains
it haunts me, it haunts me, it haunts me again.
and the worst part is-
is that you don’t even know that
it haunts me, it haunts me, it haunts me again.
to top it all off- again, and again, and again, and again.
it haunts me
melting past my ears your song
slips upon my lips until each kiss I give reminds me of you
gentlemen beware: my touch reeks of your melody that was abandoned
within my skin-there is you.
I am the haunted ghost forever I’ll roam to the end of the world
in search of where your song began
the past is where it can be found
never to live again
it haunts me.

if the Empress is knocking-
the proper thing to do is answer.
she comes bearing gifts
in one hand she holds the center of your spine
the other- your femininity.
the king denied you such pleasures.
reclaim your stance as a Goddess
for every female knows that without women-
the world fails to spin round and round
and round.

“you are the bows from which your children are living arrows are sent forth. the archer see the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrow may go swift and far. let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;for even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.”
-gibran, kahlil, the prophet

grab your thrones
with all your grace
i bid you- apply some pressure
and sing the majestic song of birth.
show ‘em, show ‘em what ya got
and don’t stop until the breathing halts.

he was on the prowl
entering rooms whose floors were dipped in flower jewels
attempting to find me:
laying below the masses.
a warrior in the field of daffodils- not easily found.
incognito, i surrendered to the beauty.
come search for me if you wish….
my fingertips are yellow, my mouth radiates the scent of a freesia.
this is where i belong.
and when you do find me, when you do…
don’t dare pull me away
lay beside me and succumb
to the sun you’ll learn to bask within.
“we imprison what is alive because it is dangerous to those who are not.”

”the day that woman admits what we call her masculine qualities, and man admits his so-called feminine qualities, will mean that we admit we are androgynous, that we have many personalities, many sides to fulfill.”

“what we will have to reach, the ideal, is the recognition of woman’s sensual nature, the acceptance of its needs, the knowledge of the variety of temperaments, and the joyous attitude towards it as a part of nature, as natural as the growth of a flower, the tides, the movements of planets.”
